Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

A fresh install of ubuntu beta from the amd64 daily CD of 20110408 has
nvidia display issues on a Dell inspiron 531.

The ubuntu-bug attached files are from a parallel 10.10 install, and
should only be used for illustrating the hardware situation.

The symptom is completely reproducible:  boot kernel 2.6.38-8-generic amd64 with the binary nvidia driver, launch a process such as gnome-terminal or firefox, maximize the window.  The screen goes to solid white.  Un-maximizing reverts to a normal display.  After 2-3 maximize/un-maximize cycles the display locks up.
Ctrl-Alt-F1 and then Ctrl-Alt-Del results in the expected switch to a terminal and a reboot, so the keyboard is still responsive.

This only happens with the binary nvidia driver, not with the open-
source nouveau driver.  However, the nouveau driver lacks the
acceleration needed to run the new unity interface.

This is the same hardware (Dell inspiron system unit, HP LCD display) as in bug #757929, but a different problem.
(That bug is a kernel oops after a 10.10 -> 11.04 upgrade; this problem is a display freeze from a fresh 11.04 install.)
